Gear Fairings Fixes (1)

1 hour

I noticed had two adjustments to make on the gear leg fairings and wheel pants.

On the wheel pants, when I fit them I did it with the tail raised so the plane was level.  When I set the tail back on the ground, I couldn't rotate the wheel pants back far enough to clear the axles and brakes before the back edge hit the ground.  So I just had to remove a little more fiberglass so they can be installed and removed with the plane on the ground.

On the gear leg fairings, I realized that the right one blocked the lower cowl hinge pin, so I had to cut a little half circle through it so I'd be able to get the cowl on and off with the gear leg fairings on.
